  • Peptide conjugate useful for cell nucleus molecular imaging and tumor therapy
    Publication number: 20070123699
    Abstract: Described is a conjugate comprising (a) an amphiphilic transport peptide of human origin as a transmembrane module (TPU), (b) a nuclear localization sequence (NLS) and (c) a signalling and/or drug carrying module (SM), preferably comprising Gd, Ga, Fe, Mn, I and/or F as (diagnostic) image creating compound. Said conjugate is' useful for diagnostic purposes, e.g., for cell tracking by MRI, as a contrast agent (e.g., replacing a “biopsy clip”) for MRI, or for determining the activity of DNA repair enzymes by MRI. Said conjugate is also useful for therapy, e.g., for chemotherapy or intranuclear Gadolinium Neutron Capture Therapy (GNCT).
